Question

Write an essay supporting, challenging, or qualifying English author E.M. Forster’s opinion in the following quotation: "I hate the idea of causes, and if I had to choose between betraying my country and betraying my friend, I hope I should have the guts to betray my country.

Answer 1

Answer:

I support Forster´s opinion in this quotatation.

Explanation:

I would say the same for various reasons:  First, a friend is very hard to find, so once you have him/her, you shouldn´t let him/down.  In my own experience I´ve had just three or four real friends in my life.  They are people I trust, love and care for.  Friends are not always together, but you know you can count on them.  Sometimes the are near for a period of time, and then they disappear or lose contact for a while and they come back when you need them.  I would agree with Forster´s opinion also in the sense that I would hope to have the courage to betray my country.
